TL;DR: Assessment of CXCR function and expression in PMNs from trauma patients at high risk for pneumonia and their matched volunteer controls found defects appeared to be caused by preferential suppression of CxCR2 surface expression, and cross-desensitization of chemokine receptors in normal PMNs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Civilian craniocerebral gunshot wounds: an update in predicting outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article, a retrospective chart review of 298 patients who sustained GSWs to the head between 1992 and 2003 was conducted at a level 1 trauma center, where the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to identify independent predictors of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted disease in women with symptoms of a simple urinary tract infection stratified by low colony count criteria.
TL;DR: The proportion of women with symptoms suggestive of a UTI who are urine culture positive versus urine culture negative, the prevalence of STDs between groups, and if elements of the history or examination may predict those requiring STD screening were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can patients accurately read a visual analog pain scale
TL;DR: Ninety-five percent of patients are able to read a VAS within +/-2 mm of physician readings, suggesting this instrument could be used by discharged patients in longitudinal pain studies or with help in management of chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precision, accuracy, and managed care implications of a hand-held whole blood analyzer in the prehospital setting.
TL;DR: Results speculate that these results might be important to managed care groups because knowledge of blood chemistry values in the field might provide physicians with objective, criteria-based data on which to triage patients to the emergency department, to an ambulatory care setting, or to a community health center with attendant cost savings.
